Description
Crock Pot Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes are a creamy and delicious side dish made with layers of thinly sliced potatoes, onions, and sharp cheddar cheese, all cooked to perfection in a slow cooker.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for a kick)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Grease the inside of the Crock Pot with cooking spray or a little butter to prevent sticking.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the Crock Pot. Top with half of the sliced onions and half of the shredded cheese.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Pour half of the cream mixture over the first layer of potatoes, onions, and cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese, then pour the rest of the cream mixture on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
- Once done, let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, add cooked bacon bits between the layers.
- Try using different types of cheese, such as Gruyère or Monterey Jack, for a unique twist.
